The Attitude by Local Engineers is ‘unpatriotic and heartbreaking’, I need EIZ to explain- President Lungu

1. You asking why,? The people will phrase the same question to you saying why are you leading the country so badly? People ask questions why the negative growth trend Zambia has taken but the inept PF are quick to blame natural occurrences for their failures, so even for these engineers what answer do you expect from the.

   • To imagine that it had to take the inspection of the Copperbelt Patriotic Front (PF) Conventional Centre for the president to start posing such relevant questions. Why not the Ndola Mufulira Road? the Kitwe city roads? Only the political party’s convention centre triggers such critical thinking! .

3. Equally, local lawyers are pathetic. You can’t trust them with your money as a client.

   • Equally local journalists are pathetic. You can’t trust them with their reports as a reader. The nation is really rotten but the ruling party doesn’t notice

6. Government is failing. Engineers are failing. What a country.

7. Most likely they are relatives or party cadres, not engineers.

8. How do you complete projects without money.

9. It’s an opportunity for the EIZ to tell him in his face that contracts and tenders are now shared amongst PF cadres before they’re even advertised, it’s the new culture under his leadership. He’s asking when he knows the answer. If you don’t shout ECL2021 no tender for you

10. Mr. President, one reason why GRZ projects take long to complete is erratic funding by GRZ itself…

11. It is impossible to work when there is no money. Local engineers do not have huge reserves to do the work and get paid 10 years later. Many of them have to borrow from the bank and if subcontracted, the main contractor is not paid and then the trickle down effect to sub contractors and suppliers. They have to be PF supporters to get a Ngwee. GBM experienced that even as a minister! The Chinese can manage to do this because their bank pays them.

12. This has been an ongoing issue which we constantly reviewed whilst I was advisor. We tried hard to evaluate many of the projects. I am now assisting the president with reviewing this and this is the right step to take. Patriotism is very important value to have. We don’t want an attitude similar to diasporans who lack patriotism.

13. Is there not a bridge named after lungu ? This lungu loves to hear his name for sure ….

    And those useless engineers are like that because they know nothing will happen to them even if they did shoddy works …

    None existent accountability

16. Ba Lungu why would you want engineers to provide answers for shoddy workmanship and projects not being completed on time. The Government signs contracts with these cadres you give tenders to do the work. The purpose of the tender to ensure that the project is completed according to the quality specifications, time frame and estimated cost. Therefore, those appointed by your Government to act / manage these projects on your behalf are either doing a bad job or eating from the grapevine as you have previously advised.

    By the way, the same people masquerading as contractors fail to deliver projects somewhere but get more contracts elsewhere. Look at your permanent secretary……………………….. Nshamulubula pantu mwalishibe ilyashi.

17. Doctors, Lawyers, Engineers, Poloticians as Malama calls them, all follow the more money in my pocket slogan. Poor finishing yeka yeka.

18. Engineers aren’t failing. Government needs to support local engineers the same way they support foreign engineers.

19. Most of these people Mr. Lungu is complaining about are not even real engineers, they are false-front characters from the ruling party with contracts obtained dubiously. A capable and accomplished engineer always knows whether a project is a legitimate developmental pursuit or just a money siphoning racket for ruling party officials and does not dare tarnish his reputation by getting involved in rackets.

20. “…adding that he also wonders why structures in the private sector are completed on time and of better quality than those of the government.”
    Ba Mudala this one statement says a lot about how the government, of which you are head of, is run this country.

21. Even Architects sir, there are so many ****ing crooked Architects from CBU. Please, have a word with them too.

22. Iwe Prezido sakana!!! When people want to reach to you to tell you things, you shun them. When they try to protest you send State Police to arrest them. All the citizens are trying to do is to tell you about things like that. It is not the Engineers — it is a rotten society hewn out of hubris, laissez-faire attitudes and plain incompetence. Kwapwa! Ati upset yesterday happy today. That is how you have been turning a blind eye to crimes, incompetence and fraud!
